Recordset with adOpenStatic and DISTINCT statement

Question

I have a problem but i know to avoid it, but i don't understand why it's happening, so pls help!
I have something like that:
strSQL=     "SELECT DISTINCT field1 FROM table_name "
Set rs = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.RecordSet")
rs.CursorType = adOpenStatic
Call rs.Open (strSql, objConn)               
If Err.number<>0 Then
     Response.Write "..."
End If
If Not rs.EOF     Then
If rs("fields")=0 then
End If
End If
... and i'm getting: error: 3265 Item cannot be found in the collection corresponding to the requested
name or ordinal.
So if i make like this:
1. in stead of strSQL=     "SELECT DISTINCT field1 FROM table_name " i put strSQL= "SELECT DISTINCT field0, field1 FROM table_name " works
or
2. Instead of Call rs.Open (strSql, objConn) i put
Call rs.Open (strSql, objConn, adOpenReadOnly, adLockReadOnly) works
but like i said i dont understand why the first code dosen't work :( .. so pls explain
Ps. 1. First code works fine with Sql Server     
2. The same problem i have with strSQL=     "SELECT Count(*) AS field1 FROM table_name "

Hello Nimisha,
You said you received the cursor into your program.
If that means that your cursor has been opened before you received it then you can't change it's cursorType property.
Maybe, then, your cursor is still a moveForwardOnly.
I don't know how but you should try to set the cursorType property of your recordset before you receive the cursor.
Hope it will help.
